UPDATE:
Got an account with filedropper.com - so, here is a new link:
http://www.filedropper.com/captivatesystem_1
Select the gray "download this file" button in the center.
Try this one. We'll see if it runs out of bandwidth or reaches a max download....
NOTE: I pushed the FMRadio.apk from the Euro GS Rom to this phone prior to making the system dump. It is included in the apps in the dump. HOWEVER, it does NOT work. It appears that all it would need to work would be the radio drivers from the EURO version to include in a new kernal - then we would have a REAL FM RADIO like on some of the other devices -instead of the ATT crapware radio that they want to charge fees for!
Edit:
Below are two other posts late in the thread that also have links. If one doesn't work or is too slow for you - try another!

System Dump
Sweet download. Thanks...
I thought my talents would transcend my outspokeness, I was wrong.
I am an anroid n00b.
how do I do a clean install with this dump?
I heard it was "the same as rooting" - but how is it done? Tried sticking it on the card and doing adb reboot recovery and it won't do anything.
I deleted att apps and may need to exchange the device out at att. want to make sure it looks legit before I take it in.
Great share. Thanks

I just went and tried to download the file, and it worked.
I also downloaded it earlier and then uploaded it again so there are two files floating around. Go try that one.
The OP did a great thing here. I am just trying to spread the love!
Got it that time. Big thanks...
So I got a notification in the bar stating "Connecting to DM server". About 30 min later, another message stating "Update Available". Well, my battery is about 25%, so it postponed the update. Good thing though, it says to click the "Software Update" in the System Settings when the battery is charged.
See screenshots below.
My friends phone the same issue
My friend has the same issue. So I'm charging it for him. Going to run a log on his phone once we can upgrade it and see if we can get some nice information like a URL and such.

Hi again,
Do you need 32-bit or 64-bit drivers?
I have the 64-bit driver package on dropbox, can PM you the link, but I don't have the 32-bit drivers, sorry
I love how it says Congradulations! like you just won the update lottery.
So where would this update file be located? I have Dalvik Debug Monitor running. The only folder that has a change date of today is the "Data" folder. I cannot access anything in it though.
I haven't installed the update yet, if someone tell me the steps to get the files you need, i could help out
If you're rooted -- you should be able to look in /cache for a file named update.zip.

Any way you could pull the .zip out of the /cache folder and send a PM to s0niqu3? It would help the devs out as I don't believe anyone has done that yet (could be wrong and just don't see it though).

I can not find the update.zip file. The only thing I see is a downloadfile.apk in there. I think it downloaded this file first, then restarted the phone into an installation mode. Well there it did the rest as in downloading the zip file. When going back trying to find it, it is gone. Not sure what else to do. I uploaded to files of the log if there is any smarter people than me that can interpret it.
After installing dexter's 1.3 mod, i still do not see market....I know mod works because of sound volume change...I checked sd card on tablet and it shows update.zip.zip but on laptop card reads update.zip only...is that where the problem lies? I'm not sure where i should be finding the market app...or , is there something else I should do?

Not quite. If you do that on any of my workstations or laptops you will end up with a file
named just 'Update.'
It all depends on the settings you have in Windows File Manager.
If a user is going to be dealing with file extensions then the feature that is set to
'Hide File Extensions' needs to be disabled, Hence the link to the post on how to do that.
The instructions in the posting do not need clarification, File Manager needs tweaking
and that is how it needs to be configured to eliminate confusion.
It's rough that MS still realies on file extensions. And then when users are trying to do
something that requires that detail it gets confusing.

Are you serious? Get off the cheap drugs, the expensive ones won't $#% you up so bad.
I think you are actually the one that started me on that rant that I linked (that went into enough detail that it described, and gave instructions on how to fix people's common issues from TWO OPERATING SYSTEMS!) You keep telling people "just name it update" you are wrong, dead wrong. the file NEEDS to be update.zip and your generalization will only cause issues for people that wouldn't have had them otherwise... So it looks like you are the one that posts instructions that need clarification.
I posted the link because it had already been answered, I am not going to type until I am blue in the face just because some people don't have the gift of search.

1) Install elocitymod 1.3 on your A7 (install instructions are at the beginning of the thread for it in the A7 Development section)
2) Wait on the bluetooth fix to see if you have any problems (I am running without the BT fix and running fine, others have issues and the BT fix helps them out)
3) If you don't want to pay Sprint $30 extra a month you are going to have to root the EVO
3a) Use unrevoked3 (quick google search)
I would recommend doing it from a Mac just because it is easier, PC you have to install drivers.
3b) Once the EVO is rooted, install "Wireless Tether" from the Market (on the EVO)
4) Profit.
This is pretty much my setup and I love it. I have done other modifications to my A7 and my EVO, but nothing that would alter this.
Help Please
Thank you so much for your reply, sincerely appreciate it. Be patient with me, new to this stuff. I downloaded the mod and tried to install, with no luck. It downloaded five different files, which one should be renamed to update or update.zip? Downloaded pda.net on the evo and on the laptop and it worked fine. Just wasn't sure what to download for the A7 to make it work. Thanks again and have a great day.

the file ElocityModv13.zip should be update.zip
Make sure Hide extensions for known file types is OFF in Windows.
I'm starting to suspect that the micro card reader in the A7 might just be finicky.
What size and type of Micro SDCard are you using?
Do me a favor and do a 'Properties' on the Dexter Mod file and post back what size is reported.
Try formatting the card this way: -=- LINK -=-

mod on SD Card
I think the ELocity only supports the micro SHDC cards not vanilla micro SD cards. Someone else in another thread had a problem with update.zip and it turned out it was on a vanilla micro SD card and when they used a micro SDHC card it worked.
Okay. So I don't have the link to the PDF but you can get it from Verizon's website. Apparently this does not contain info stating that this update is Gingerbread, unlike 4.06.605.2. Weird. Devs and Mods: delete or move post if not in proper part of forum; no hard feelings.

Actually here in my area they recently put free wifi access all along I-94. Works pretty good but signal gets kinda low in some spots, probably between antennas.

I posted in the thread in the General forum but I'll repost here, in case devs don't go there. I have the update and I haven't installed it yet. The phone says that it has been downloaded and verified. If I can get something off the phone in this state that can help the devs let me know. I'm thinking the phone downloaded a file that I could copy and post or something. I just don't know where to look for it. It says the update is 87.8M
Todd
Darn it! I wish I knew where they downloaded the update too.
Try doing this from a terminal emulator window or adb:
Code:
find / -name *.zip
and see if you see a zip named PB31IMG.zip
Thanks Todd. I appreciate you doing this. I didn't see your post in the general cause I rarely go there.

Found this in the desire forum. Would this work for the incredible as well?
The OTA .zip files which are downloaded from a Google server are not signed the same way as the RUU "rom.zip" files - they use the app .apk manifest signing method. (manifests and certs a la "jarsigner").
If you are interested in looking at the process that HTC/Verizon uses for the OTA updates, you can get the URL for the OTA zip the following way:
Run logcat on the pc and accept the update on the phone
$ adb logcat > logcat_accept.txt
This will sit like this (it continues to log output into the output file) until the phone reboots. At that point, the adb logcat job will terminate, and the name of the zip file will be indicated in the logfile in a message similar to:
W/SystemUpdateHelper( 64): !!! REBOOTING TO INSTALL /cache/desirec-ota-104882.7b1e5cca.zip !!!
Then, take the name of the file and paste it on the end of android.clients.google.com/updates/partner

Been trying to get ADB working but the package won't install. I have to head out or my wife will murder me. I won't update my phone until I try this out though.

The problem with that is that is that it downloads the OTA to cache, and removes it when the install reboots.

There is a better way which is to get the download link from logcat directly to googles server. That way everyone else can download it from the "legit" host rather than take your chance with 3rd party file hosts and potential for corrupt files. Yes you can use md5 to verify, but getting the zip straight from the source is best.
To the op, this info is not a secret, do some searches, it has been posted numerous times for each of the prior ota's of this phone and many others.
